NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 26, 1911.

Application filed February 28, 1911. Serial No. 611,343.

' To all 'w homl'lt may concern.

Be itiknown that I, Enema SU soL, a citizen of the. United States of America, resid- 'ing atAr'nold, in the county of \Vestmorefective manner the fraudulent refilling of i the bottle on the displacement of its original contents.

In the drawing, forming a portion of this specification and in which like numerals of .,reference indicate similar parts in the sev- .eral views :-Figure 1 is a vertical section jthrough my improved bottle. 'Fig. 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Fig. -1.

The body '1 of the bottle may be of any suitable configuration or design, and as shown, it is provided with a peculiarly verted conical portion and an inter-mediate formed neck 2 embodying anupper. cylindrical section B a lower substantially incylindtical portion 5, he transverse diam -eter. offlthe latter being considerably less as. cal portion thairthetransverse diameter of the cylindrical portion. 3 or the large end of the coni- 4 Santa a shoulder 6, is formed immediately at the bottom of the cylindrical portion 3 and'a similar shoulder 7 formed at the large endof the conical portion 4:.

The small end of the conical portion l opens and the said small end forms a valve seat against which is engaged a gravity closing valve 8, of a configuration conforming substantially with the small end of the said conical portion 4 of the neck. The large end of the valve 8 is protected by acap 9 of rubber or suitable analogous elastic cushioning material, the purpose of the same being to revent destruction lot the valve, incident to fits contact with the guard 10 when the bottle is canted. i, i

The guard 10 may be formed oftalurmnum, glass or any other suitable mater al which may be found best adapted for the directly into the body of the bottle cape therefrom purpose. This guard embodies a cap 11 which is preferably perforated and which has integrally formed thereon a depending substantially inverted hollow conical portion 12, the lower end of which being formed with a hollow disk 13 which opens directly into the hollow conical portion 12 of the guard by way of the passage 14:. The

outer head 15 of the disk is formed with discharge passages 16' and the inner head 17 of the disk is wholly imperforate and disposed in spaced relation with respect to the valve 8 when the bottleis in its vertical position, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing.

The cap 11 is extended beyond the wall of the conical portion 12 of the guard to form a flange 18 which is seated directly against the shoulder 6 of the bottle neck.

This flange has formed therein a plurality of passages 20 which open directly onto the peripheral edge of the disk. Thesepassages have seated therein the upper ends of sprm arms or retainers 21,'each being provide at its lower end with a keeper portion 22 to engage beneath the shoulder 7 under spring tension of the arm so as to hold the guard 10 against removal from the neck after its'application thereinto on the proper original filling of the bottle. The cap 11 has its peripheral portion'bearing directly 3 of the neck adjacent to the'shoulder 6 so as to conceal the passagesQO whenthe guard is operatively placed in the bottle and thereby preventfraudulent tampering withthe spring retainers with the purpose 1n view of removing the guard from the bottle.

When the bottle is canted the valve 8 falls from its seat in the neck and the cushioning surface 9 of the valve wholly contacts with the head 17 at the small end of the guard 10. Free communication is then established tion of the bottl so that theliquid can be e neck and have free esby way of the perforations ,between the bong; neck and the body pordischarged into against the walls of the cylindrical portion 16 and the perforations in the disk 11. By

constructing the guard "10 of substantially inverted cone form a relatively large'spaceis provided between the walls of the conical portion of the guard and the walls of the c lindrical portion 5 of the .neck so as to provide for the required relative movements of the spring retainers 21 during the op- .eration of inserting the guard mto the neck:

The small end of the conical portion 12 end or" the conical. portion 12 to permit the free passage of the contents of the bottle through the passages 16 when the bottle is canted.

A bottle having a neck portion provided with an inner substantially inverted conical portion, an outer cylindrical portion and an intermediate cylindrical portion a guard including a substantially inverted conical member extending through the intermediate cylindrical portion of the neck and having its small end extended into the large end of the said substantially inverted conical portion of the neck, and a valve movably large intervening space between the large end of the conical portion of the neck and roe gees "the small end of-the conical portion of the guard, the said conicalportion of theguard being hollow and being provided at its out-er end with a perforated head and being proing passages therein which open intothe intervening space-between the small end of the guard and the large end of the conical portion of the neck, and a valve niovably mounted in the conical portion of the neck and adapted to engage against the inner head of the hollow disk of the guard to limit the opening. movement of the valve when the bottle is canted.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature v y in presence of two witnesses.
